Yep, I remeber the Bicentennial year so well -- I feel like I was constantly dressed in an old-timey costume and bonnet for school, though it was probably way less than I remember, ha.

Same!!!

Happy birthday, sj! Hope you have a fun day.

Wish me luck, everyone, I’m now on the no meloxicam (the daily pain killer I take) part of my pre knee replacement surgery journey. Surgery is next Friday.

Much ~ma your way lisah!

Being a 22 year old hippie living in the south at the time I was in flag designed short short jeans and tank tops at the time. It was all go US clothing all around. I miss feeling good about my country.

My hip full of meloxicam is crying at the idea of no meloxicam, BUT:

Surgery is next Friday.

Good luck, knee!

Good knee-ma, lisah!

Stay un-melty Jessica! Costa Rica and Adirondacks sounds delightful.

Happy birthday, sj!

San Francisco is getting up to 74 today. I may need a popsicle or some other icy treat. Alembic does always have a boozy slushy drink on their menu.

I'm meeting up with my friend Rachael (who is also my Pilates teacher) today to discuss how we are going to Change Her Life. I may steer her towards the boozy slurpee at Alembic for this.

Next week she will reciprocate in helping me to excavate my nerdhole in preparation for reclaiming it as a work space. (I'm getting a new desktop computer now that Apple has put out it's new Mac Studio.)

I miss feeling good about my country.

Sigh. Yes. And will I be around for 300? Doubtful. Will the US be around for 300? Also in question.
